It entirely depends on level the burn took place. For mild burns hair regrowth usually takes places once the scalp gets healed.

Hair Regrowth Potential
- Burnt hair shafts do not regrow.
- New hair can grow if hair follicles are intact.
Factors Affecting Regrowth
- Healthy scalp and follicles allow regrowth over months.
- Severe burns damaging follicles may limit regrowth.
Recommendations
- Keep the scalp clean and avoid further trauma.
- Consult a dermatologist if no regrowth occurs after a few months.

Summary: New hair can grow if follicles are unharmed. Proper scalp care is essential.

I'm dealing with a bunch of short, frizzy hairs right at the top of my head. They're not little baby hairs, but more like thick, broken hairs, and they just wont seem to grow. I haven't used a straightener in ages because I'm worried about damaging them further. I've got thick, wavy hair, and now these frizzy hairs are making it impossible to wear my hair down without having to use a clip. I've tried everything: hot oil treatments, leave-in conditioners, deep conditioning treatments, and even growth serums, but nothing seems to work. What could possibly be causing this, and is there anything else I can try to get them to grow out or at least calm down? This is really embarrassing.
